Oil is good for you, in moderation of course. But there are some very healthy fats. Try Greek yogurt to mix it up, add some spices and some lemon juice for a creamy alternative. You could probably get creative with smashed berries like raspberries and dash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar. Mashed avocado could be good.
Do you like Asian-inspired flavors? Just One Cookbook has Japanese salad dressings on her blog that are lighter on oil - carrot ginger, sweet miso, and umeboshi (salted plum) etc. Just FYI, some oil is necessary to maximize absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) in the veggies.
I love my salad spinner. Makes a huge difference. I always say “my lettuce is going through the spin cycle after it’s wash” 😂 Yes I do talk to myself or to anyone in my house that is listening. 😁
Favorite salad---Caesar or a chopped salad with creamy dressing. Love your easy Caeser dressing such a time saver not having to soak cashews. Thank you for all the tips and inspiration!!
Hey Nikole! I have been following your videos over the last few months and I really love your content. I am a mom of a newborn, and I love to cook, so your videos are perfect for me. You inspired me to up my salad game and make a delicious salad for lunch today. Thanks for the inspiration!
I will be honest when you Got pregnant I unsubscribed because I thought all your content was going to be baby stuff and that is not something I’m looking for At this time in my life but I have now subscribed again because I like that you switch it up with your videos I appreciate the variety in content . 😊
Chopped salads last longer in reusable silicone bags. Just put a sheet of paper towel in and u get a whole 3 weeks. I keep my dressing simple and it's always bomb. Some plain Greek yogurt whipped, pour it over the salad add a squeeze of lime and some pepper sauce. No matter what salad dressing u use add some pepper sauce and it will take ur salad there. Wash ur chopped veggies in salted water and d flavour is absorbed.
I have been wanting to make more exciting salads, so this came at the perfect time! Would love more DF dressing ideas if you have them too 😊 Also, I am definitely going to buy a salad spinner now. You’ve convinced me 😂
I love making salads, I'm always surprised when people don't use a salad spinner It's so normal in Europe. An alternative is wrapping it in a towel in the fridge.
Hello! I love your videos. Thank you for sharing this, I will definitely be making more salads. Any hacks/tips/products for a baby between 0-9 months? I have watched all of your videos on it but was wondering if there was anything else? Thanks Hope you and your beautiful family is well.
I'm used to amazing and healthy salads here in Europe. I also love making a variety of them. I went to Czech Republic (where my husband is from) and Croatia this summer and was shocked at how they serve you salad wirhout dressing. 😱 My mother-in-law does that too. They bring you oil and vinegar if you ask. You have to pour it on your salad. For someone who knows how much a dressing has to be whisked to taste great, this is a no-go.
Thank you so much Nikole for the salad hacks. It was very helpful. Our Jewish High Holidays are coming very soon and your video gave me some wonderful options to use when making a salad as well as how to prepare the salad properly. I just love your videos! Always so helpful and enjoyable!
All of these are obvious to me but good for people who didn't know. I would add that you have to blend or whisk it really well and add oil last if you want it to be super creamy. To me salads are sexy. 😎
Please remove your praising adjectives for your process as let people judge for themselves the content of your process and this makes videos long and extremely fake and boring
